MANCHESTER, England — Casemiro was put out of his misery early at Old Trafford. The Brazil international was substituted by Manchester United at halftime of its 3-0 loss to Liverpool in the Premier League at Old Trafford, having been at fault for both of the goals scored by the visitors in the first half. Casemiro gave the ball away to spark the attack that led to Luis Diaz heading in the opening goal in the 35th minute. Diaz scored the second goal, too, after dispossessing Casemiro in United's half and then getting on the end of Mohamed Salah's pass in the ensuing counterattack. The 32-year-old Casemiro didn't get on the field for the second half because he was replaced by 20-year-old Toby Collyer.
